Gluten Digestive Enzymes

We saw a new neurologist today and I am thrilled to finally find one who believes that dd's gluten intolerance is significant regarding her seizures. He may refer us to a GI doc if he feels it's important to find out if she has celiac or not. I'm worried about this since it would require that she go back on gluten but I'll worry about that later!

He's recommending that she take a gluten digestive enzyme at each meal whether she was glutened or not to help her digest any possible cc or unknown gluten.

She can't take pills yet so whatever I do I have to mix in a smoothie or something. Do you have any recommendations for products to use?

Thanks!

Why would they of told you to take her off before they did any testing is crazy then make her go back :(

No way would I go back not worth to have it just on paper if she is doing well and you already have her gluten free keep her there.

If you haven't started the pills won't do that much good due to her consuming gluten there are for like being gluten free and eating at Grandma's and maybe she has not made her kitchen completely safe but cooked gluten-free then the pills would help, but far as taking the pills and eating whatever don't mix my son tried it when they first hit the market and tried taking 2 and eating bread like the health food store told him but he was reallly sick .so not sure if it is worth the 20-30 dollars a bottle to just try to find out. It is more for being gluten-free but someone being around with gluten foods then it helps you not to get any gluten in your system.

Not sure if they would do the same effect putting them in something so ask your health food store for more info they could prolly answer the effect.

I hope this helps and good luck!

Thanks, yes, he meant for them to be for being gluten free and eating at Grandmas. I don't give her any gluten intentionally. If I ever have to put her back on, for further testing, he would not use them then. The doc that took her off had her go gluten free because he is a Dan! doctor and this is a protocol for his patients and she fit the bill and had a positive Anti-Gladian IgG test. But her new neurologist is going to be digging deeper and has a different speciality. I agree that I wish we had done more testing at the time, but I was not in touch with the right doc's. :( I can't imagine putting her back on gluten. I hope I never have to!

Good advice about asking whether putting them in something makes a difference too.

Thanks for your thoughts!

I haven't heard about any gluten digestive enzyme that actually works. They are trying to develop one, but anything that is on the market now is ineffective as far as I know, and I think I would have heard.

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
